I have been raped—twice. Yes. Literally raped. I was kidnapped one time, too, and narrowly escaped. I’ve hitch-hiked cross-country in countries far from home, and I’ve witnessed all sides of reality. Sometimes, all alone. I’ve met people with twisted bodies, crippled by disease. ...and poverty so harrowing, it brought me to my knees. My fingers have touched bullet-holes in concrete...and those that tore the flesh right off of a little child’s face. I’ve seen firsthand what it looks like to be hated because of “race.” I’ve had to duck into dark alleyways to avoid violence in the street. I’ve been sucker-punched in the mouth. I’ve been called names I will never repeat. I’ve run with a pack of junkies, hunting for the next score. And I’ve defied my own mortality—high as a kite on a basement floor. I’ve lost friends to suicide and overdose. They made choices they couldn’t survive. And I’ve made some of those choices too. Somehow, I’m still alive. My dad likes to remind me: “Kid. Your mother. She’s the reason you’re alright. Your mama. She was praying for you every single night.” Yeah. I got lucky. And I’m grateful, but not simple. And I’m hopeful, not naive. Don’t let my joy confuse you. I get angry and I grieve. “Peace Warrior” means I try to choose it every day. Not because I know nothing else; but because I know no better way.

Do you dare to investigate your limitations? Or not? Because if you are interested in knowing true freedom, here are a few questions that are worth asking: 1. Where did your beliefs originally come from? Originally. 2. Are you stuck in those beliefs? 3. ...and if so, what solidified your beliefs? Was it fact? Or feeling? Love? Or fear? 4. And, when it comes to personal myth and Deep Psychology this may be the biggest question: Can you recognize when your wounds are making your choices? I’ve been chewing on these ?s, and I’ve discovered they take some serious guts to truthfully digest.
